South America (America Meridionalis), Hondius, Mercator`s Atlas, Amsterdam, ca. 1623. 19.3 x 14.3”. (HC) Superb folio map of the continent that was added by Jodocus Hondius for publication in his continuation of the Mercator Atlas. The interior features the large mythical Parime Lacus straddling the equator and an equally interesting river system. The huge Rio de la Plata flows south from the conjectural Eupana Lacus in Brazil, while the R. Grande flows north from the same lake to join the Amazon River. The Strait of Magellan is shown, but Tierra del Fuego is part of the large southern continent. The map is beautifully engraved with a wave pattern in the oceans, which are filled with ships, sea monsters and a native canoe. The continent is flanked by two elaborate cartouches; title to the right and a large inset plan of Cuzco incorporated into the distance scale cartouche on the left. A Native American is seen with a bow and arrow in the interior. Latin text on verso. A fine impression with a couple of insignificant spots. There is light toning and soiling in blank margins. (A)

Early Printing ([Book of Hours Leaf]), Kerver, [1507]. 4.3 x 6.8”. (HC) Superb vellum leaf from this important transitional period when books began to be printed from movable type, decorated with metal-cut illustrations and combined with hand-painted illuminated initials. It is printed on vellum in black and red with many initials hand painted in red, blue and gold. The ornamental border on both sides illustrates scenes from the Apocalypse. Two well-known horses are depicted on verso: the white one with a rider carrying a bow and arrows, and the red one with a rider carrying a sword. Thielman Kerver was a printer in Paris, who worked "in vico sancti Iacobi ad signum Vnicornis & ibidem venales habent" (in Saint Jacob`s lane under the sign of the Unicorn where they are also for sale). He began printing Books of Hours in 1497 and continued until his death in 1522. His widow, Iolande Bonhomme, took over the firm, and continued to produce liturgical books until 1556. Kerver`s work is much less common than that of his colleagues, Simon Vostre and the Hardouins. Marginal soiling. (A)

*An emotive CQD Medal awarded to Thomas McInerney, who on 24th January 1909 was employed by the White Star Shipping Line and serving in the Royal Mail Ship `Republic` when she was in collision with the Italian ship `Florida` off the North Atlantic coast. He was assisting in the transfer and rescue of over 1700 passengers. Later in October that year he was widowed with the loss of his wife Ellen and three years later on 14th April 1912 found himself again employed by the White Star Line on board the ill-fated Royal Mail Ship `Titanic` employed as a `Greaser & Oiler` on both ships, his body was never found. C.Q.D. Medal, silver, contemporarily engraved in medium serifs (Thos McInerny [sic]), 45mm diameter, minor edge bruising therefore nearly extremely fine, sold with copied research. Mr Thomas McInerney (1875-1912), a native of 58 Elstow Street, Merseyside, Liverpool, served in R.M.S. Republic and listed on the published transcript roll as an Oiler. The C.Q.D. medal was issued after the distress signal was given by the White Star steamship R.M.S. Republic when she drifted into thick foggy waters off the island of Nantucket, Massachusetts and collided with the Italian steamer S.S. Florida in the early hours of the 23rd January 1909. The CQD signal resulted in more than 1700 lives being saved. The Republic was sailing from New York to Gibraltar and the Mediterranean carrying 742 passengers and crew. Two passengers who had been asleep in the cabins were killed when the bow of the Florida crashed into the Republic. Jack Binns, Marconi operator aboard the Republic sent out the signal C.Q.D. (All Stations Distress) and was responded to by the White Star liner Baltic. The Republic suffered the most damage and subsequently sank, all crew and passengers were transferred first to Florida and then on to Baltic who had arrived been delayed in reaching the stricken ships due to the fog. Binns became a hero when he arrived in New York as this had been the first time that a radio had been used to effect a recue and sea. In the catastrophe of early 20th century shipping the White Star Line wrongly assumed their vessels could have fewer life saving rafts because this newfound use of the radio could alert rescuers within the well-used shipping lanes in good time. Ironically Binns was offered a position in the company`s `Unsinkable Ship` R.M.S. Titanic but declined, tragically this was not the case for Thomas McInerney who served as one of 33 Greasers with the Engineering Department on board the Titanic and who had survived the sinking of the Republic in 1909, lost his wife Ellen later that year and went down with the ship in the early hours of 14th April 1912. It was deemed necessary for the survivors of the Republic and the Baltic to subscribe to a fund to award the CQD medal to the captains (four issued in silver-gilt) and the crews (silver) of all three ships. In 1981 the Republic was discovered in 270 feet of water approximately 50 miles south of Nantucket Island. Captain Martin Bayerle and his crew, spurred on by the rumour the Republic was carrying one of the largest shipments of treasure ever lost at sea had set about to discover her. It is rumoured she was carrying a shipment of gold consigned to the Czar of Russia, in addition to a $265,000 U.S. Navy Payroll, a relief fund destined to aid the survivors of the 1908 Messina Earthquake in Italy, and a $3,000,000 five-ton shipment of American Gold Eagle coins as well as jewellery and gold belonging to the passengers, potentially totalling fifty million pounds or more in today`s terms. To date this has not been discovered. (1)
